The second Beers Across the Wabash event will bring selections from about 30 Indiana breweries to the Pedestrian Bridge from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday.

With a strong brewing history and now two major breweries, Greater Lafayette has embraced the craft brew trend. And on Saturday, the second Beers Across the Wabash event will celebrate that.

The event will last from 1 to 5 p.m. on the Pedestrian Bridge, giving those 21 and older on either side of the Wabash plenty of time to kick back, sip a sample and enjoy the view.

Friends of Downtown organizer Steve Bultinck said there will be selections from about 30 Indiana breweries, including locals People's Brewing Company and Lafayette Brewing Company, and homebrewing demonstrations. There will also be food for sale from D&R Market, the Lafayette Optimist Club and Sgt. Preston's, and roving musicians, including the Woodstove Flapjacks, will provide the soundtrack.

VIPs can pay a bit extra to come an hour earlier - at noon - and try foods paired with specific beers.

Proceeds go toward replacing the holiday lights on the courthouse, Bultinck said, and it shows off what a special community Greater Lafayette is - beer and otherwise.

When: 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday

Where: John T. Myers Pedestrian Bridge

How much: $35 for general admission, $60 for VIP

Also: Find tickets at Village Bottle Shoppes, People's, Lafayette Brewing and at www.beersacrossthewabash.com.
